THIBODAUX -- ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer earlier this year, and the Manning family is honoring their longtime friend at the Manning Passing Academy with a special wristband that all 1,250 campers have along with counselors and staffers.

"Chris Mortensen has been a huge part of our camp. He's our friend," former New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning said Friday.
